1913 Massacre (1913年大屠杀) - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Take a trip with me in nineteen thirty[00:00:02]

To Calumet Michigan in the copper country[00:00:07]

I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall[00:00:13]

And the miners are having their big Christmas ball[00:00:18]

I'll take you in a door and up a high stairs[00:00:25]

Singing and dancing is heard everywhere[00:00:29]

I'll let you shake hands with the people you see[00:00:33]

And watch the kids dance around the big Christmas tree[00:00:39]

There's talking and laughing and songs in the air[00:00:45]

And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere[00:00:51]

Before you know it you're friends with us all[00:00:54]

And you're dancing around and around in the hall[00:00:58]

You ask about work and you ask about the pay[00:01:06]

They'll tell you they make less than a dollar a day[00:01:10]

Working their copper claims risking their lives[00:01:14]

So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives[00:01:19]

A little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights[00:01:27]

To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet[00:01:30]

To hear all this fun you would not realize[00:01:33]

That the copper boss thug men are milling outside[00:01:38]

The copper boss thugs stuck their heads in the door[00:01:45]

One of them yelled and he screamed there's a fire[00:01:48]

A lady she hollered there's no such a thing[00:01:52]

Keep on with your party there's no such a thing[00:01:56]

A few people rushed and there's only a few[00:02:03]

It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you[00:02:06]

A man grabbed his daughter and he carried her down[00:02:10]

But the thugs held the door and he could not get out[00:02:15]

And then others followed about a hundred or more[00:02:21]

Most everybody remained on the floor[00:02:24]

The gun thugs they laughed at their murderous joke[00:02:28]

And the children were smothered on the stairs by the door[00:02:33]

Such a terrible sight I never did see[00:02:39]

We carried our children back up to their tree[00:02:43]

The scabs outside still laughed at their spree[00:02:49]

And the children that died there was seventy-three[00:02:55]

The piano played a slow funeral tune[00:03:03]

And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon[00:03:07]

The parents they cried and the men they moaned[00:03:13]

See what your greed for money has done[00:03:18]
